Guild Wars 2

Please don’t give warriors an off hand weapon for specialization

Having only two measly skills to mess around with would make me really sad. Unless that weapon could also be used as a main where we get 5 skills and a burst skill.

Out of 16 weapons warrior can use 9 (not counting the acquatic). Warrior cant use: dagger, pistol, scepter, focus, torch, short bow and staff. It wont be scepter and focus. I doubt it will be short bow. It may be dagger, pistol, torch and staff. I think it will be pistol offhand.

Its gonna be greatsword offhand

Stop over to the Mesmer forums and see how bad it is that they’re giving us shield rather than a main-hand that we so desperately need.

I’m very confident about ArenaNet giving to each class a set of 5 new weapon skills. So far seems that Engineers will get a hammer, Rangers a staff, Necromancers a greatsword and Guardians some kind of bow… I bet that if the Mersmers will get a shield (off hand with only 2 skills) they will also get a -currently undiscovered- new mainhand weapon with 3 skills.

As long as they doesn’t bring us a trident will be fine

Rytlock also used to wield an off hand pistol before becoming a revenant…

I have to be honest- we could use more off-hand weapons. We already have enough main-hands and two-handed weapons. You may think two skills is not enough, but remember; quality over quantity. Those two skills might make a huge difference in battles, like warhorns.

Anet has also stated that the professions getting off hands/main hands will be getting other things added elsewhere to make up for the lack of a full weapon bar that 2handers provide. They did not say what the things were though. Could be new Utils, or Prof. skills.

Personally, I hope it’s an offhand dagger, or dual daggers.
